这应该是有效的：

SELECT name 
FROM sysobjects 
WHERE id IN ( SELECT id 
              FROM syscolumns 
              WHERE name like '%column_name%' )

我想要一些不会让我眼睛流血的桌子和视图。

查询

SELECT
    t.TABLE_TYPE AS [Type],
    c.TABLE_NAME AS [Object],
    c.COLUMN_NAME AS [Column]
FROM
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS AS c
    LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS t ON
        t.TABLE_CATALOG = c.TABLE_CATALOG AND 
        t.TABLE_SCHEMA = c.TABLE_SCHEMA AND
        t.TABLE_NAME = c.TABLE_NAME
WHERE
    c.COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%myName%'
ORDER BY
    [Type],
    [Object],
    [Column]

后果

Type        Object   Column
----------------------------
BASE TABLE  Table1   myName1
BASE TABLE  Table2   myName2
VIEW        View1    myName1
VIEW        View2    myName2

此外，还可以找到具有指定模式的列名。

SELECT 'DBName' AS DBName,
       column_name,
       table_name,
       table_schema
FROM   dbname.information_schema.columns
WHERE  column_name LIKE '%YourColumnName%'
       AND table_schema IN ( 'YourSchemaName' ) 

您还可以在多个数据库中找到同一列。

SELECT 'DBName1' AS DB,
       column_name,
       table_name,
       table_schema
FROM   dbname1.information_schema.columns
WHERE  column_name LIKE '%YourColumnName%'
UNION
SELECT 'DBName2' AS DB,
       column_name,
       table_name,
       table_schema
FROM   dbname2.information_schema.columns
WHERE  column_name LIKE '%YourColumnName%' 

要获取完整信息：列名、表名以及表的架构。。

SELECT COLUMN_NAME, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_SCHEMA
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%col_Name%'

以下查询将为您提供字段名为“%myName”的数据库的确切表名。

SELECT distinct(TABLE_NAME)
  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS    
 WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%myName%'

在MS SQL中，可以编写以下行来检查特定表的列名：

sp_help your_tablename

或者，您可以先在查询窗口中选择表名（突出显示模式和表名），然后按下下面的组合键：

Alt + F1
